“I Could Do That!”: Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible Director Sent Him A TikTok Thinking He’d Laugh, And Instead It Became His Big Final Reckoning Stunt

Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning director Christoph McQuarrie explains the unusual thing that inspired one of the movie's big stunts. McQuarrie has been the driving creative force behind the Mission: Impossible movies for a number of years now. He first signed on to direct Rogue Nation in 2015 and then went on to helm three more movies in the franchise. Next week will see the release of Ethan Hunt's final chapter, Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning. The film features a leading cast including Tom Cruise, Hayley Atwell, Ving Rhames, Simon Pegg, and Esai Morales.
